Dont worry Frank, there will probably be another move to get everybody into uniform when the Company is restructured, with NSL disappearing up its own ar*e, and NERL rebranded as NATS EnRoute Division, or NERD for short
(the posters and brand logo should look great - how about some suggestions??)
It'll be flip flops with diamantes for all staff (to reflect the new profitable status of the Company, no doubt), but the ATCOs will obviously demand gold braid on their shorts
, the cost of which will be deducted from their reduced salaries.
In the meantime, Frank, keep winding them up - it makes for a giggle if nothing else!
and the rest of you more serious types should all be thinking of what you can be doing with all that 'dry powder' you've got stored away..... no, seriously.
